            <description>
                <p>
                    The JDK 8 provides three limited profiles (compact1, compact2, compact3) in addition
                    to the full JDK. Each profile specifies a specific set of Java API packages and
                    contains all of the APIs of the smaller profile. The new API allows a client of the
                    <code>SourceLevelQuery</code> to query the required profile.

                <p>
                    The semantics of the <code>SourceLevelQuery</code>, <code>SourceLevelQueryImplementation</code>
                    and <code>SourceLevelQueryImplementation2</code> was extended to support source level synonyms.
                    The <code>SourceLevelQueryImplementation</code> and <code>SourceLevelQueryImplementation2</code>
                    can return source level synonyms, e.g. "5" for "1.5". These synonyms are always normalized
                    by the <code>SourceLevelQuery</code> before they are teturned to an API client.
                </p>

                    Added a new <code>COMPILE_ONLY</code> classpath type allowing project types to add
                    classpath resources which should be included in the complile classpath but should not
                    be inherited by runtime classpath.

                    Added an API to allow clients to attach source roots and javadoc roots to binary roots.
                    The API delegates to SPI implementations which provide specific behavior depending on
                    type of binary root (platform, library, maven artifact). There is also fallback implementation
                    handling unknown binary roots by storing the bindings into IDE's userdir.

                    The SourceLevelQuery did not allow listening on the source level changes. Such a
                    notifications are required by the annotation processor support and indexing.
                    This API change adds a SourceLevelQuery.getSourceLevel2 which returns a Result object
                    which allows listening like other queries.

	<description>
	    ClassPath.getClassPath() documentation omitted the fact, that the method may
	    return <code>null</code>. Although the implementation functioned that way
	    from the beginning, it is considered an incompatible change (tightening of
	    the contract).
